Flywheel machining

im impressed.....
he,s giving it to a general machine shop.....well hopefully the machinist knows where to grip it to remove metal....not everybody has your knoledge

hello camel - just get hold of a knackered gp crank with decent flywheel side.
use a very thin disk cutter to cut through crank next to the web and you've got a flywheel holding tool for the lathe.
check run out on lathe as some 3 jaws aren't very good

hope this helps

i totally agree with what your saying,and im genuinly impressed with the lengths you have gone to,to have yours balanced.
just my point im trying to get across is thats its not totally necessary to have it balanced especially with the method youve described or the method i use.
I doubt it that if you buy a sil lightened flywheel its going to be rebalanced
im just being realistic and no way being negative
you watch someone will start a thread about balanced cranks next lol...
which by the way i have never used.
cheers
